JERUSALEM – Sirens wailed across Israel on Monday, as the country’s Home Front Command began testing a new nationwide alert system as a measure to warn the citizenry of what to do in the event of an impending missile attack. Conventional methods, as well as smartphone and social media applications, were used in the test.

Israel could not ask for a friendlier Foreign Relations panel chairman than NJ Sen. Menendez. He used the left-wing Haaretz to state the US needs to intervene in Syria. Faint hopes for ”peace process.”
